The Woodridge Kiwanis Club held its annual Scholarship Dinner at the Woodridge Family Restaurant, where five $1,000 scholarships were given to seniors from the Fallsburg Central School District. This is one of the projects that the members work so hard for each year and it gives them all great pleasure to meet with and listen to the award recipients.
The winners are Adham AboHussien, son of Tony and Mai AboHussien of Woodridge; Tiffani Suhm, daughter of Tania Miller of Woodridge; Ilyssa Weiner, daughter of Michael and Jill Weiner of Woodridge; Samantha Wiles, daughter of Shawn and Lisa Wiles of Woodridge and Kirsten Jacobsen, daughter of Ed and Debbie Jacobsen of Woodridge.
The eligibility for a Kiwanis scholarship is based on academics, extracurricular activities and community service. The students all found time to volunteer for the good of their school and community. Their activities are too numerous to mention individually, but they include sports, music, volunteer work, the arts and work, and each one excelled at all they did.
Adham will be attending SUNY Geneseo and plans to study International Relations; Tiffani will attend SUNY Oswego to study Business Management and Mathematics; Ilyssa will attend SUNY Oswego and will study Broadcasting and Mass Communication with a minor in Music, Sami plans to go to Ithaca College and major in Business Administration and Kirstin will attend Norwich College to study Education, majoring in Physical Education with a minor in Health Education.
